The United States has almost 1 million oil producing wells, and most require the use of an artificial lift system. There are various methods of artificial lift which are utilized to increase pressure within the reservoir to push oil to the surface. This allows operators to enhance production and extend well life.

Read MoreWacker Chemie AG is preparing to build a new silicone production complex at its Charleston site in the US state of Tennessee. The Munich-based chemical group has already started a feasibility study. In a first step, it is planned to build production plants for high-consistency silicone rubber and silicone sealants, used, for example, in construction applications. In addition, plants are to be built for the manufacture of intermediates
Read MoreThe carbon black market is projected to register a CAGR of more than 2% during the forecast period (2022-2027) according to ReportLinker.com. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the first half of 2020, the tire and rubber industry was significantly affected.
Read MoreThe demand for performance and consistency of elastomer based compounds is growing quickly in all fields (tire, technical rubber goods, cables). Specifications regarding physical, mechanical and chemical properties, as well as “visual aspects” properties of the finished products are becoming more and more strict.
During compound production, all operations are involved, from the weighing to the storage of the semi-finished mixed compounds. The mixing operation plays a very important role, since it is the step where all ingredients are incorporated, dispersed and distributed.
In today’s ever competitive and challenging business environment, it is essential that all manufacturing businesses have their production efficiencies and costs under control. This holds especially true for rubber molding companies that do cryogenic deflashing. Two of the primary cost drivers in a cryogenic deflashing operation are cryogen (liquid nitrogen) and deflashing media consumption.
Read MoreComerio Ercole recently introduced, within its products portfolio, a digital platform named Hercules40 which is aimed at supplying its clients with a data driven analysis tool for continuous improvement of the production process, including energy consumption optimization, as well as value added after sales service.
Due to the advanced techniques of big data analysis and machine learning, process and instrumentation, the raw data present within Comerio Ercole machines and plants are transformed into smart data that become part of the strategic information available to plant operation and maintenance management through a simple and intuitive application.
Properties of elastomers can be measured and computed by the DMYO-V oscillograph.
